So ESPN thinks we'll trade DWill for a high first round pick

For a top 3 pick? I would seriously have to consider that if I were them. Stew has shown that he can carry the load for the whole game. I would hate to see him go, but I would love to see us get a young, stud QB. I know that its a crap shoot sometimes in the draft, but if we got Clausen I would jizz my pants.

I believe it will happen. As much as I love Williams and only buy his jerseys, from a football standpoint this makes sense. We need a franchise QB and the only way to get one is with a top 10 pick.

Stewart can carry the ball as a full time starter and I believe we already have a good backup RB. It's easier to just draft another RB in the late rounds to take the load off both of them if need be.

It's only a question of where this pick would come from. Detroit? Seattle?

Are they just running the Gantt article with comments? Or are they giving their individual own take? I would be SO irate if they traded him. He's my favorite player. The only way I wouldn't hate them with every inch of my being is if we got one of the top five draft QBs out of it, and even then I'd be iffy. J-Stew's injury history scares me too much.

I also think a lot has to so with whomever is running the show here. Fox wants a bruiser, but I could see another coach wanting to stick with a speedster.

I think he would actually injury himself further by playing anyway (well, he has played while injured already).

I think Fox likes the two back system anyhow.

I guess I better hold off on getting that Williams jersey...

It'll definitely be a sad day in Charlotte and the Carolinas if D-Will is traded. I like Stewart, but he hasnt been fully healthy since he's arrived here. I think Williams should be one of the untouchables. Stewart should be traded, but he wouldnt get us our 1st rd pick.

    • The ball keeps getting pushed down the field. Most of the 2nd rounders won't get full guarantees but they'll get a good chunk of the contract guaranteed. So let's say it's 75%. At the end of the day we're talking about a couple of million over the course of a four year deal. Basically a rounding error in terms of salary cap impact. It's much ado about nothing. 
    • Agents only have the upper hand if they think/expect the teams to cave in the end, but that 30 of the 2nd rounders remain unsigned, it shows the Agents might not have it in this case.  A 2nd round pick isn't going to sit out their rookie season as a holdout to re-enter the draft the next year and improve their draft stock and/or ability to stick in the NFL, you really need to be an elite QB prospect to even have the remote chance of doing that successfully. Teams have to draw a line somewhere, if they all say the line is the 1st round, then there isn't much the Agents can do about it if the teams all hold firm, which they should. And yes, you're right about the rookie wage scale, which is exactly why I don't think the Agents will be winning this battle in the end.  The teams know they already screwed up rookie contracts once, they aren't going to fall down that slippery slope again and let it snowball on it's way down.
    • Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.
